From Joshua.

JOSHUA, Texas, July IS, 1887
To the Herald.
Last Saturday night, according to
appointment, Hoa. b. ID. Tarlton, of
llillsboro, was on hand to discuss the
prohibition amendment with repre-
sentative anti, and when the train ar
lived it was found that Hon. Barnett
Gibbs, of Dallas, was the nan the ants
had selected. This seemed to please
Mr. Tarlton. An immense crowd soon
assembled at the school house.
Mr.. Tarlton opened the debate and
spoke one hour and thirty minutes in
an earnest, logical, sound speech,
during which there was good order
and marked attention paid to the
speaker, who seemed to be in splen-
did plight and fully alive to the i'm
portancc OF the issue before him.
When he closed Mr.. Gibbs was intro
duced, when it seemed that chaos was
turned loose. The ants yelled and
yelled again and again and it was evil
dent that they were endeaveripg to
give their speaker as big send. off as
possible. They seemed to realize the
fact that their speaker would need
all the encouragement he could get
to undertake the task of answering
what had been said. But Mr.. Gibbs
did not seem to be in good fix. His
words and sentences fell flat, though
the ants continued to cheer every
possible thing they could that he said
TO disintercsted person, it was soon
evident that they had commenced a
little to brash, and to say that there
was Disappointment among the antis
is to put it mildly. Did Mr.. Gibbs
answer Mr.. Iarlton's argument?
No! Even thu antis, some of
them say "no."
What did he do
lie related some personal liberty
history, made a few side issues, and
told few anecdotes, and still the ants
cheered, though not SO Justify by any
means. When his time was up Mr..
Tarlton arose and spoke 80 minutes,
with case and freedom, shocking Mr..
Gibbs argument to pieces one after
the other until they had vanished and
time was called. Mr.. Gibbs then
closed the debate by saying that he
had rather think that his bright eyed
boy would be drunken patriot than
a sober fanatic. | will lea~e the pub
lie to interpret for themselves what
he meant. We can safely score grand
victory for prohibition, We can't
lose anything in joint discussions.
Yours for prohibition,
w. S. JOHNSON,
Chairman, Pro. Club.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 16.-A horrible
accident occurred this a. M, in the
Union Steel Works, corner Ashland
and Archer avenue by which three
men are likely to die. The men
were engaged in pouring otiron into
mould that was damp, when the
metal flew and scared them dread
fully. They were taken to the hos
pital, and the physicians declare their
recovery is out of the question. Two
of them are Poles, the third Hun
garian. Nine men were struck by the
melted iron and three of them will
die. Two were married. Some were
carried TO the hospital and others 10
their homes.

THE TELEPHONE WAR.
What the Mayor Says.

The mayor, regarding the war with the
Erie Telephone Company, says that he had
given instructions to the city engineer not
to issue that company any more permits
without permission of the council. Reply.
ing to question by Mr.. Kivlen, he said
that the company had never got franchise
from the council that in 1881 the South.
western Telephone Exchange had, without
ordinance On resolution, bu. by simple
motion, received permission to lay their
line, and that that company had subse-
quently sold out to the Erie Telephone
Company.
Here is the petition for what the Erie
Telephone Co., claims to be their franchise
in 1881
Hon. John j. Good, mayor, and city coun-
Gil of Dallas,
GENTLEMEN The uD dersigned petit
tions would respectfully ask your honorable
body to grant them permission to erect
poles upon any of the streets and alleys of
Dallas for the purpose OF cons ructing, op-
Grating and maintaining Il telephone eX-
change for the convenience of citizens and
business men, Respectfully,
S. W. Il. Il II. Co.,
per LOGAN II. Roof, President.
The action of the council on this petition
as recorded was:
"The petition is granted Work to be
done under supervision of City Engineer
and it seems that both city and Telephone
Co, have recognized this as authory until
this time.
This morning Mayor Connor issued the
following instruction to Marshal Arnold:
You are hereby instructed and ordered
not to allow tae Erie Telephone Company or
any officer or employe of such company to
erect or place any pole or poles upon the
streets or sidewalks of this city until fur
ther orders.
, Mr.. Reid says TO Herald man that his
company has acted under the council reso-
luton of 1881, as their right to erect their
poles in the streets, and this right has been
recognized by the city, until one night last
week when they notified the company not
to erect poles touching its own property on
Main and Sycamore streets. The
poles were .,eiected Friday. and
Saturday night the conucil pass
cd an order for the company to remove
the poles by noon Monday or the city mar
shal would cut them down. Mr.. Reid thinks
the council should have resorted to the
courts rather than tho axe to remove the
poles already erected.

The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue stamps
from proprietary medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers,
as. well as relieving the burden of
home manufacturers. Especially is
this the case with Green's August
Flower and Boschee's German Syrup,
as the reduction of thirty-six cents
per dozen, has been added to increase
the size of the bottles containing these
remedies, thereby giving one-fifth
more medicine in the IS cents size.
The August Flower for Dyspepsia and
Liver Complaint and the German
Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles,
have perhaps, the largest sale of any
medicines in the world. The advan-
tage of increased size of the bottles
will be greatly appreciated by the sick
and afflicted in every town and village
in civilized countries. Sample bottles
for 10 cents remain the same size.

the list of the dead must be added that
of General Charles p. Stone-Pacha

to New Orleans to make some money,

days later he was taken sick, and skill
could not save him. He was

him thirty years ago. He came out of

went to California. When the civil
war broke out he was in Washington,
and he was the first soldier sworn into
the volunteer army. After some
months of service he was imprisoned
in Fort Lafayette, and to his dying
day he never learned the reason why.

with Banks up the Red river and
served to the end of the war. He then

WHO DID 1T?

GEO. JoHNsoN's resolutions, asking
for better mail service, as passed
by the Kansas legislature, were
presented to the senate on
on Thursday by Senators ingalls, and
Plumb, and were referred to the COM
mittee on postoffices and post roads. In
response to the matter the postoffice
department ordered the establishment
of a railway postoffice system over the
Chicago, Kansas & Western railroad,
between Great Bend and Ness City, a
distance of sixty-ive miles, to be
known as the Great Bend s. Ness City
railway postoffice; over the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fee railroad, from
Douglas to Winfield, a distance of
twenty miles; from Larned to Brown s
Grove via Wade; over the Chicago,
Kansas & Western railway, six times a
week or more; from Kingman via Cal
ista, Minnesota, Saratoga, and Pratt.
to Culleson, forty miles, six times a
week or more. The entire distance
over which the new service is to pre-
vail is $50 miles. A Washington dis
patch says: This prompt rendition
agreeable to the wants of the people
on the new lines of road in Kansas, is
due to the efforts of the two distin
guished representatives the state has
in the senate" but to an outsider il
looks a great deal as though some o.
the credit is due to Messrs. Johnson
Hunter and Kellogg, who had Oul
state legislature act positively in thu
premises. 1t is wonderful what effec
a forcible protest to the United States
senate has when sent by gentlemen
who make L. S. senators.

Another Landmark Gone.

One of the biggest transactions made
Thursday in real estate was the sale of
the Bundrem property on the corner
of Commercial and Fifth avenue to
Bell s. McCown for $4,000. H. V.
Bundrem has, for over twenty-five
years, occupied the building and car
ried on BUSINESS there and it is one of
the best known places in the city. 1t
is, in fact, an old landmark, which,
we learn from Mr.. Bell, is doomed to
be torn down at the opening of spring
and fine brick block erected, which
will be occupied by new banking
company.

SOME dealers and business men have
adopted a good plan to ascertain to
whom to give credit. When a man
asks for credit, the dealer OF party of
whom the indulgence is asked, ascer-
tains if the applicant is subscriber
to his county paper, and if SO, whether
he pays for his paper promptly. If he
does, he gets the credit. If he does
not, credit is refused him.-EX.
This would be good rule for En-
poria merchants to adopt, but it should
also be applied to newspapers. y
newspaper which does not pay off its
hands promptly, should also be classed
among those who should be refused
credit.
